GRAMMAR.

Many teachers find much difficulty
in teaching the subject of grammar IN
our schools. There is no reason why
this subject should be more irksome than
any other study. The fault lies in trying
to teach too much; the child mind needs
time to develop. Watch how slowly a
child learning to talk masters the first
few words; and if word per day is adj
ded to its vocabulary we know the little
one is advancing very rapidly. Yes even
word per week satisfies the anxious
parent for the first few years. To artic-
ulate these words plainly, and under
stand them are the first steps in the study
of the English language, and with what
pleasure and satisfaction the little one
pursues the study. But when sent to
school text book is placed in it's hands,
and it is required to memorize the parts
of speech. This it does knowing as lit
tie of the meaning of the words used, as
if they were Greek. Then the amount of
work assigned for one lesson.
Teacher stop and think of it. Most
teachers assign too long lessons; SO the
pupil goes on and on, sinking deeper and
deeper into the slough of despair, until
he finally says frankly, Il hate grammar,
and see no sense in it, Shorten up your
lessons, talk to your pupils more, call ON
them for many sentences to illustrate the
part learned; make haste slowly Sc
lect your lessons from pleasing stories,
don't rely on the text book too much; do
not be surprised if after your class has
completed the book they make mistakes;
probably there is much in the book
which may puzzle you. Don't scold,
and above all don't try to do too much at
one time; and if your pupils do not come
out of school with love for grammar,
and get along without numbering their
mother tongue, write and let me know.

SUGAR TRUST.

We understand that sugar trust,
with several million dollars capital has
been organized in Kansas City for the
1rpose of regulating the sugar product
;our state, and to keep up the price OF
sugar. This is all wrong, and is direct
thrust at the working men wherever dis
persed, not only over our own state, but
over all sections which may be reached
by the sugar produced in Kansas. We
work for manufactures, for railroads and
colleges; we labor to have mills ETC., To-
Gated near us. And why! Certainly not
that the products of the same may be just
as dear as before, but with the hope OF
procuring the manufactured article at re
duced rates, and securing reduced rates
on transportation. For the college and
all institutions of learning, that our
young may be benefited; and too often
that town lots may be sold to better
advantage This Trust destroys COM
petition. Then let the government remove
the duty on sugar. Nearly all the sugar
refneries of our country belong to this
trust. One of the pool says: 1T is es-
tablished to make sugar refining proflta-
BILE, and that can be done by advancing
the price of sugar only one-fourth cent
per pound, and the consumers would not
notice it," Now last year the people OF
the United States used 8, 400, 600, 900 lbs.
of sugar, one-fourth cent per pound
amounts to Sc, 100000. This is IA cents
per capita for every human being in the
United States, so much additional tax
which must go to enrich the sugar trust
Why should those who labor for their
daily bread give to the Trust this
enormous amount of money. If we are
to be treated so, let us as American cit
liens assert our rights, and see that our
ports are thrown open to the world; let
the whole sugar producing world come
in and smash this Ubiquitous monopoly,
organized to still more firmly bind the
hands of the labOrer and cheat him out
of home which he tolls to procure for
his loved ones. These monopolies will

gold endeavor to carry out their designs.
and call probably for an increase of du-

Dodge City is steadily moving forward
at the head of the grand procession OF
growth and prosperity of southwest Kan
sas. The building of the A. K. & C. r.
r.. the Dodge City. Montezuma & TIM
idad, and the Wichita s. Western Rail-
road and the erection of wooden mil,
ana sugar factory are some of the sub
stantial improvements which will make
Dodge City the hes: town west of Kansas
City.
The A. X. & c. r. r. is already graded
to this point, and our merchants have
ordered goods to be shipped over this
road The Dodge City, Montezuma &
Trinidad is being built as fast as men
and teams can do the work. This road
will be completed to Montezuma by
January list, and pushed on to Trinidad
in the spring. The W. & w. have COM
pleted their grade to the east line of this
county. and will try to reach this point
before the A. X. & c. get their track lay
ing completed ready for operation.

TEACHERS MEETING.

The second meeting of the Dodge City
public school teachers was held in the
high school room on Saturday afternoon,
Oct. %. The meeting was opened at
two clock by talk on Kansas schools
by Professor Atkins, which was very en-
tertaining and instructive Following
was paper on reading, by Mrs. Gaddis,
who has charge of the First primary, at
the Third ward building The ideas ex-
pressed by Mrs. Gaddis, in her paper,
showed conclusively that she is one of
the few who have read the right books
In the right way.
An essay, on the duties of the teacher,
by Miss Mcpherson, of the South Side
school, proved that Miss Mcpherson is a
conscientious teacher, one who does not
believe in keeping school," but in
teaching.
We see by the Duet, by Miss Marley
and Miss Williams, of the Second and
Third primaries, of the Third ward. that
their talents lie in a musical as well as in
a literary direction.
The beautiful poem, Evelyn Hope, was
read in graceful manner by Miss Anna
Kreigh, of the Fifth grade. Following
was recitation, Longing. by Evelyn
Baird. Next reading, Beyond the Alps
Lies Italy, by Miss Jennie Jones, of the
First primary, Second ward. The selec-
ton, which was full of good ideas, was
very well rendered
A paper, the Educational Will % the
Wlsp, by Professor Webb, of the High
school, was very well received, and as
Mr.. Webb has been absent from the city,
and people will talk politics to him since
his return, he was readily granted the ex-
cuse he asked for, because his paper was
not more lengthy.
The ideas next expressed by Miss
Etrick in her paper on the Teachers
Time; how much of it belongs to her
school, were very good ones. and were
read very nicely.
After song by all, Professors Webb,
Groendyke and Atkins remarked upon
the Ford County Teachers Association,
which is to be held in the high school
room Immediately after Thanksgiving
Day. This session promises to be very
one. and all should try to
avail themselves of the privilege they
have of going.
A number of the teachers from other
places were present; among whom were
the Misses Finley, Mr.. and Miss Grihlth

Some time ago the superintendent of
the Schuylkill division of the Reading
railroad issued an order prohibiting any
of the employees of the road from drink
ing liquor whether on duty or off, and
still later supplemented it by another,
summarily discharging any man seen TAX
ing drink of beer or other liquor
These seem sweeping regulations, but
the fact is indisputable that of all men in
the community none need clear brains
and level heads more than railroad en-
ployes. The safety of millions of men
and women depends upon the sobriety of
railroad employees, fact which the lat
ter must admit, and no regulation which
in any way tends to increase this secur-
ity can not be considered too sweeping.

PROHIBITION AND LITI
a'-- CATION.

One of the most significant and irresis
table testimonies in demonstration of the
wisdom of prohibition is shown in the
decrease in litigation in Iowa. The law
has been on trial but two or three years,
and yet it has already emptied the most
of the jails in the state, decreased the
rate of crime, and 1essened the work OF
the courts in such q remarkable degree
as must convince the most skeptical
among fair minded people of the
economic as well as the moral value of
the statute. The harpooned and expiring
monster of the saloon is dying slowly,
but it is dying. Greater comfort has
come into many thousands of Iowa homes,
peace and happiness reign where squalor
and brutality reigned before, and meas
ured in all things and by. all ways that
the heart measures, the law has been a
boon to the Iowa people beyond price.
Measured in dollars and cents or by the
very material and unfeeling method by
which its opponents are stalking their last
hopes for its final defeat, it is proving
equally as valuable. Not only has life
become more sacred and property better
protected since the departure of the sa-
looms from Iowa, but court expenses and
all the cost of litigation have been less
ened. So that the law, tested by the
standard of dollars and cents and by the
better standard of human feelings, is
thus early in its youth demonstrating to
all good people the wisdom of its enact
ment and the duty of the state to retain
it.-Des Moines Rsgistef.

CARP.

We take the following from the
Cherokee (Kas.) Sentinel, which shows
what may be done In the way OF fish
culture, and we recommend to our
farmers and others that have ponds to
engage in the business, as it would GER
tainly be paying investment;
'Last April G.. W. Fl. Lucas put 0
two-year-oId and 125 ANAL carp into his
pond south Of town. Last Saturday he
seined part of the pond, for the purpose
of Kidding it of cat fish. He took out
about bushel and half of small cat,
from . to ) inches long and caught
over 800 carp. The small ones he put
in last spring, that were then about the
size of finger, now weigh from 1 ] to
y pounds. The two-year Odds have a
bout doubled in size. The indications
are that there are about 1000 May carp
in the pond, that now weigh / of a
pound. Besides he lost great many
by the overflow of his pond this season.
He has fed them but little, and the atten-
ton given them was accordingly slight,
but he has demonstrated to his entire sat
isfaction that carp raising can be made
a success with but very little work.
He is now fixing up his pond and will
divide it, making two, putting in a
screen, etc. We had the pleasure of
eating some of the carp, and were well
pleased with them. There is no doubt
but that for this section the carp are
the best domestic fish.

GRAND MASTER HUNT SUS-
TANNED.

Some time last May DR.. Geo. r. Hunt
Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of
Masons in Missouri issued his edict to
the Lodges of the state, commanding
them to enforce the law excluding saloon
keepers from Masonry, and requiring the
Lodges to expell any of their members
who persist and continue in this un-
masonic business. The substance of the
matter was that the saloon keeping Ma
sons must either quit the bushes or quit
Masonry. 1t was admitted on all sides
that DR.. Hunts position was in strict
conformity to Masonic law and the oft
repeated deliverance of the Grand Lodge.
Nevertheless, considerable hubbub was
kicked up about it by some of the St.
Louis lodges, which had been openly
disregarding the law in this respect.
They refused to expell their saloon keep
ing members. Then by order of the
Grand Master, the charters of the re-
calcitrant lodges were arrested. This
brought the whole matter before the
Grand Lodge at its annual session at st.
Louis last week. 1t was understood in
advance that there was to be a vigorous
fight, and great interest attached to the
proceedings, which it was forseen would
be more important than any that have
been had for many years. The discuss
ion came up on Thursday and continued
all day. Rev. John D. Vincil and Judge
Noah NJ. Givan, of St. Louis, were the
principal speakers sustaining the Grand
Master. The Grand lodge sustained the
Grand Master by vote of $40 to 200
The charters of the suspended lodges
were restored on the condition that all
saloon keepers be expelled from their
list of members. 1t was 6 great triumph
for Dr.. Hunt, and vindication of Mason
ry which will be pleasing to all friends
of morality -Warrensburg, Mo.,) Stand
